Good Jobs for a Better Nashville.

Good Jobs Nashville partners with high-road employers to bring family-supporting careers to the working families that make our city run.

There ARE better jobs

We work with unions, workforce development programs, and community business partners to bring the best opportunities to working families in Nashville.

The career I found gives me a chance for a better life.

“These resources helped me find a trade that I’m passionate about, where I can continue to learn and grow throughout my career. I’ve become part of a brotherhood in my Union, where it feels more like a family than coworkers. The career I found gives me a chance for a better life and better opportunities to provide for myself and my family.”

what we do

Connecting qualified workers with quality employers

Nashville is home to many high-road employers that offer fair wages, family-friendly benefits, and a company culture built on mutual respect. Yet, recruiting and retaining qualified workers from Nashville’s communities can be a struggle for these employers, even as many diligent Nashvillians fail to secure family-sustaining careers in their city. Good Jobs Nashville unites these forward-thinking business partners with qualified employees, streamlining the recruitment and hiring processes, and organizing a unified labor pipeline that combats inequality in our communities.
